I made this for the first time in Maine. My daughter, Terri had a huge party on Labor Day one year and I thought this would be great for a start to the menu! EVERYONE loved it; especially one very close friend, Norma! This is her recipe now and forever, I think! It was that good!

How To Make mushroom soup
